Pros

The product is great, it's a very easy sell. Clients are very engaged and you are treated as a strategic partner rather than a vendor. Good work life balance. Good benefits. This is a good place if you don't care too much and just want to go to work with some nice perks and a have a fairly easy job.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Managers turn a blind eye to bullying and nasty behaviours, I witness multiple people being bullied and leaving LI in tears during my 6 years. Big focus on appearance rather than results. People are incentivised to spend time on self-promotion rather than driving business results. Smooth talkers are seen very favourable. LinkedIn is an easy sell. And whether you have good results or not are often down to luck. This has resulted in some very mediocre people getting promoted and as a result you have bad managers.

Pros

Amazing perks and nice people. Perks: I was able to purchase new luggage with the help of some internal points for my performance. Unfortunately, I have not traveled since I left the company with the luggage. Travel also changed after I took the job and I was a global traveler.

Cons

I ended up quitting my job to look for a new job in 2024. The exit from the company was extremely poorly managed by my manager and the HR staff. I had a very difficult time networking after I left the job which is funny given that it is a social networking platform. I felt like there was still a presence from the company even after joining She Runs It, a third-party networking platform for women. I expected more from LinkedIn during my departure. I was unaware what impact working at this company could have on my career. They should really help their employees with their next role and applying as a lot of the applications occur on the platform. There was only an opportunity to interview and reach out to people that worked for LinkedIn at B2B, even though I have B2C experience. AI has really complicated the process as well with writing etc. since leaving.
